I believe that most of the hysteria comes from foreigners who have never even been close to Sweden

See, for instance, the "swedish no-go zones". International media and shitty youtubers have been screeching for years about neighborhoods completely overrun by violent brown thugs. In these areas, journalists are beaten and robbed, sharia law is enforced by armed patrols and even police, firemen and emergency medical teams are forbidden to enter by these powerful criminal gangs...

But the local authorities just say "nope, not true, we have no clue how those assholes who never set a foot here arrived to these conclusions lmfao "
